The back-and-forth game saw 14 lead changes and 13 ties. The Beavers led by as many as eight points two times in the first half but went into the locker room with the game tied at 28.

HIGHLIGHT MATERIAL:Leilani Estavan's half-court game-tying shot at the buzzer of regulation against Washington on Thursday proved to be the most exciting finish to an Oregon State game this season. Estavan's shot marked an eerie resemblance to last season's 69-67 Washington victory against the Beavers in Bank of America Arena. Husky senior Megan Franza knocked down a jumper with three seconds remaining to give Washington a two-point lead. The Beavers in-bounded the ball and Estavan launched a shot from just inside half-court that banked off the glass and the front of the rim before falling astray, allowing the Huskies to escape with the win. The second time proved to be the charm for Estavan and the Beavers.

OVERTIME: Prior to this season, Oregon State was 0-3 in overtime games with coach Judy Spoelstra at the helm. This year the Beavers are 3-1 in overtime contests and have seen four of their last six games go an extra frame. OSU's four overtime games this season are the most in a single year.
